TOBCSC6100 - Contact with tobacco manufacturers: Recording your contact with a tobacco manufacturer

It is important therefore that all members of HMRC who have contact with tobacco manufacturers and discuss issues that may have a bearing on supply chain issues make a formal record covering what was discussed and what was agreed.

Examples of relevant issues are

• tobacco smuggling in general;
• supply chain policy;
• assurance activities;
• interpretation of law; or
• seizures of their products.

If appropriate, any member of HMRC receiving information from or about a tobacco manufacturer should report the fact to the National Humint Centre using the prescribed form.
